Savings Accounts
- Regular Savings -- this account is sometimes called a “share”. This term refers to the basic plan of credit unions where members are part owners, or have a “share” in the credit union. A share savings account is what qualifies a member and gives that member the right to vote on credit union issues. It takes a minimum deposit of $5.00 to open a share savings account. Eligible members will receive an ATM card to access their account from either of our two ATM Networks.
- Regal Club -- an exclusive savings account to reward our members age 50 and over who also maintain a minimum $1,000.00 balance in an ACMG account or have direct deposit. Some benefits include up to 2 free boxes of checks per year, additional ATM withdrawals and free financial planning services. It takes a minimum deposit of $5.00 to open a Regal savings account.

Appreciation Account holders earn higher dividend rates than regular share accounts, enjoy liquidity of funds - deposit, withdraw & transfer funds without penalty*, and earn higher dividends on Share Certificates held with ACMG FCU**. To meet requirements, members must have a Share Draft/Checking Account, Direct Deposit to your ACMG account (same member number), and maintain a $2,500 minimum balance.
- Special -- are you saving for a vacation... an overdue home improvement project... car insurance... a wedding... or simply to have a little "mad money"? No matter what you are saving for, a Special Savings Account at ACMG can help you achieve your goals. Think of it as an extra savings account that you can use as you see fit - no strings attached! It takes a minimum deposit of $5.00 to open a special savings account.
- Holiday -- prepare to make the holidays merrier when you save throughout the year. Members deposit funds into their Holiday Club Accounts & earn interest throughout the year. On October 1, accumated funds are transferred into your regular savings account so you can begin your holiday shopping. Members are "discouraged" from withdrawing funds during the year with a per instance withdrawal fee (see current fee schedule). It takes a minimum deposit of $5.00 to open a holiday savings account.
- Escrow -- do you dread the arrival of your tax and homeowner’s insurance bills? Let us help you manage these expenses with an Escrow Account. Contributions to this account can be made on a recurring basis using direct deposit or whichever method works best for you. Members can access the funds in their Escrow Account at anytime and without penalty***, if used to pay homeowner insurance or school and property taxes. Funds used to pay these items must be withdrawn from the Escrow Account in the form of an Official Check and be made payable to the correct payee (i.e. Tax Agency or Insurance Company). It takes a minimum deposit of $5.00 to open an escrow savings account.
* Accounts that fall below the $2,500.00 minimum balance requirement will incur a monthly fee (see current fee schedule). If the minimumm balance is not maintained for three consecutive months, the account will be closed with remaining funds being moved to regular shares to avoid continuing fees.
** Members who have an Appreciation Account will earn a dividend rate on 24 and/or 36 month Share Certificates that is 1/4 percent higher than the current rate.
***Escrow Accounts incur a per instance withdrawal fee if not for tax or home owner insurance payment purposes. See current fee schedule for details.
